1. KNIT WRAP TOP + KNIT PANTS

Knit sets were the unofficial uniform of last year; they strike that elusive mix of cozy, chic, and effortless. We say, it's more the reason to try one for date-night. A figure-hugging silhouette and deep v neckline elevate this to a dressier standard.

2. PLUNGE BODYSUIT + ANIMAL PRINT PANTS

Chances are there's a black bodysuit sitting in your wardrobe already. In this case, repurpose it with loose-fitting animal print pants (or stretchy for maximum comfort!) and sparkly earrings for extra pizazz.

3. CUT OUT CARDIGAN + MAXI SKIRT

It doesn't get much more seductive than a cut-out top. A maxi skirt provides a nice low-key contrast to the drama on top.

4. MONOCHROME WHITE CARDIGAN + TROUSERS

Winter whites are just elegant, period. Wear the cardigan as a top and unbuttoned halfway for a flirty take. If wine is on the date-night agenda, just keep a stain remover pen at the ready.

5. OFF THE SHOULDER DRESS + LACE UP SHOES

Sweet-heart necklines are the ultimate date-night look. To keep it more casual, add a pair of masculine lace up shoes (only if you're a shoes in the house kind of person!).

6. OVERSIZE PAJAMA SET

By now we know that pajamas are multi-purpose. Sleeper does an excellent job of elevating the nighttime basic, like this crisp white oversize set. Add some hoop earrings or cozy house shoes to make the look feel more intentional for an intimate dinner.

7. STATEMENT BODYSUIT + BOYFRIEND JEANS + CHUNKY NECKLACE

Bodysuits to the rescue yet again! This time the look leans more casual with the introduction of loose-fitting boyfriend jeans. Accentuate a dramatic neckline with a chunky gold necklace.

8. SLIP DRESS + DIAMANTE HOOP EARRINGS

Dresses are a powerful time-saving tool in your date-night outfit arsenal because you only need one piece. While structured dresses can feel too stuffy in a home setting, a slinky slip version feels more relaxed yet, sophisticated. Should you want to dress it up even further, might we suggest these blingy diamante hoops.

9. MINI SKIRT + TURTLENECK + BLAZER

For an outfit that's cute yet still easy-going, pair a mini skirt with a casual relaxed blazer.

10. BACKLESS TOP + SWEATPANTS

At this point half of our lives are spent in sweatpants, so why should you stop now? For a sporty take that still reveals some skin, add a sexy backless top and polished gold earrings.
